Meme candidates are their biggest problem. You know who does well with voters? Someone that can point to prior political success. The PPC needs to attract mayors and MPPs who are fed up with the situation and have solid backgrounds in actual politics, not sitting in front of a mic saying THE WEST HAS FALLEN to the same 30 viewers every Friday.
It probably says something that Max hasn't been able to attract any of the political free agents who have been canceled or kicked out of other parties over the years:
- Roman Baber
- Belinda Karahalios
- that Rick Nicholls MPP that Ford turfed over the jab
- there was a 4th Ontario MPP turfed by Ford over COVID non-compliance
- Randy Hillier
- Derek Sloan
- that Kevin Vuong military guy that got turfed by Trudeau in 2021 for sexual assault allegations but won as an independent
- the BC Conservative MLA who got kicked out of her party for commenting on residential schools
- there were a few UCP MLAs turfed in Alberta prior to Danielle Smith winning
- small town councilors banned over COVID stuff
- school trustees harassed for not bending the knee to the alphabet mafia
- that one Lisa Robinson town councilor who keeps getting suspended for being based
- Michael Mantha was kicked out of the Ontario NDP for making a pass at a staffer
- dweebs like Wyatt Claypool were barred from running for Conservative ridings in April because party leadership wanted someone else
- Andrew Lawton from True North got elected in Southwestern ON for the Conservatives despite being a big COVID critic & having a remote history of slurs online.
- Joseph Bourgault, Saskatchewan agribusiness multimillionaire was barred from running for the Conservative leadership against Pierre
Not all of these people are electable or align with the PPC's libertarian principles.
But why haven't any of the spurned & canceled political candidates joined Max & the PPC as an alternative?
